I am not familiar with Unicode enough to provide significant comments on
these points, but I don't see how we would attach these character sets
to the instance fragments. Could you elaborate on that?

Do you have any idea where
http://dret.net/netdret/docs/wilde-crvx-www2003.html comes from and
shouldn't we take that into account as an input?

My first impression is that it can be complementary to what you've
defined: your proposal seems to be very focused on the definition of the
the character sets while this other one seems to be weaker in this area
but proposes methods to match the character sets to XML productions and
fragments.
